User reviews
Great Highlighter, unfortunately quite unreliable. The highlighted text isn't permanent. Extension keeps the highlight for say 2-4 days and then auto-delete the highlights, beyond that period so if you visit the page after say a week most likely your highlights are gone. Tested on more than one site. Dev notes in FAQ that it could be due to change in sites markup but I can tell you tested on multiple sites with same issue. Highlights are gone after certain time-period.
